i just dont get why

 

[Barry Poppins]

sometimes nothing happens

That's a fairly poor way to look at it. What you're looking at is a strategic fight between a pitcher and a batter. You want to see who flinches first.

 

[Spitfire]

lol

 

[Spitfire]

im mean im also not in a baseball culture

 

[RDK]

there's always something happening tbh, it's just more subtle

 

[Barry Poppins]

It's basically like the beginning of a wrestling match where two guys size each other up.

Juice would you consider a 90 minute draw in your football as "nothing happening?"

 

[Spitfire]

yes

 

[Chris]

Bc if so then I can accept that for baseball but I agree there's more nuance

 

[Spitfire]

especially when ive paid £30 ($60) to watch that shit

 

[Spitfire]

0-0 is worse than cancer

 

[Chris]

Then I can understand your thought process
